E. Hall
Salt Glazed Stoneware Jug with Stopper
1858
Stoneware, Salt Glaze, Mineral Oxide
From the collection of Ms. Ethel D. Orr
1942.10082
It is believed that Hall worked as a potter at W.P. Harris Pottery between 1828 and 1856. This remarkably well-preserved early Ohio stoneware jug is one of only three known examples that bear both applied and incised decoration. Inscribed "E. Hall Ohio / To Josiah Defenbaugh. Dated 1858," did this remarkable jug commemorate a special event like a wedding?
Thank you to Mrs. Alta Sims for Adopting this Masterpiece in memory of Mr. Michael Sims.
